These are High-End Quality
Size: 16 Piece Set
Style: Premium
Pattern Name: Coowkare Set
Cleanup is so much easier with these. Truly non-stick. Heavy and robust feel. Firm and comfortable grip. Heat distribution is legit. Great looking. Price I paid on sale was a no brainer. Best set I’ve ever owned and they look like they’ll last a lifetime, so great investment.

Excellent, heavy duty anodized non-stick cookware!
Size: 12 Piece Set
Style: Premium
Pattern Name: Coowkare Set
We had a bunch of super-cheap, random, non-stick pots and pans with a fairly traditional smooth Teflon-style non-stick coating. They were thin aluminum and the coating had begun to flake and scratch, some were dented and due to poor weighting, didn't sit evenly flat on the cooking surface. I did quit
e a bit of research before purchasing these Ninja Foodi NeverStick pots and pans, and this was absolutely the right solution for us. This 12-piece set had almost everything we were looking for and while not cheap, was the right price point for a quality set of cookware. Having used it now for a couple of months, here are my thoughts: - This stuff is not flimsy, thin, lightweight, or cheap feeling. These are thick-walled and dense and almost feel more akin to cast iron in the surface texture. (They are definitely lighter than cast iron, but heavier than thin-walled cheap aluminum.) - This cookware does require preheating (for the non-stickiness to work well,) and because of the extra material, it does take a bit longer to heat up to temp, but I would say it heats very evenly as a result, and makes cooking far more consistent. - Our lids are the "stackable" kind with the round nesting knob handles, and I do like that they can be shared between the pots and pans. In hindsight, however, the stacking feature of the lids wasn't really all that practical, as while the lids are "pretty" when stacked up, you inevitably need whatever isn't on top, and so have to pull them all apart every time you use them anyway. I'm still looking for a good cupboard organizer to slot the lids into sideways so they are all always easily available. - The one feature I would have liked to have seen, that comes in other brands of cookware but not these, were vent holes in the lids. It hasn't been a big issue, and I haven't had issues with gurgling lids or boil-overs, but having a steam vent in the lids would be nice. - The "non-stickiness" of this cookware is better than I expected. When I felt the texture of the cookware, I thought "how could this be non-stick?," and the first egg I tried to cook without oil or butter was a definitely mess, but I hadn't pre-heated the pan, and apparently that matters. When I tried again, and the pan was fully pre-heated, it worked flawlessly. I have used butter and oil with no problems as well, but be aware that you should not use cooking spray with these, however. (Apparently you shouldn't use cooking spray with ANY non-stick cookware. Who knew?) - Cleanup of this cookware has been easy, and while Ninja says this cookware is dishwasher safe, I have seen reviews where reviewers have said that the bases may become discolored if you wash them in the dishwasher (likely due to the reactivity of the aluminum with harsher detergents,) so we have been handwashing these to keep them looking nice. That said, I do already see some discoloration on a few of the bottoms, probably a result of occasional spillage on the cooking surface. I'm sure some Bartender's Friend and a good scrub would polish them right up. The only other note I had on this was that the rivets are an area where it might be more difficult to remove sticky food like eggs. The cooking surfaces have been very easy to clean and still look good. - We are babying this cookware a bit as I am still unsure how durable the anodized surfaces are. Ninja recommends putting paper towels between them when stacked, which we aren't doing, but I do take a little extra caution when taking these out and putting them away not to bang or scrape them together too much. Ninja also says that metal utensils may be used with these, but we already had nylon utensils, and I am skeptical enough that I wouldn't risk using metal unless I absolutely had to. Overall, I am very happy with this cookware, and I think it was a great investment for our kitchen!

Full price is rough but buy on sale
Size: 16 Piece Set
Style: Premium
Pattern Name: Coowkare Set
Bought these around Black Friday because they were $200 off. I’d done research on them and been eyeing them for a while but couldn’t stomach the full price. That said, they are amazing. Thick, heavy, and stain resistant. If you take care of them properly I have no doubt they’d last decades.

These are solid pots and pans. The contruction quality is top notch. These things are built to last. I have to admit that I was skeptical, at first. But after using them, I'm sold. The handle are nice and solid, great heat distribution thoughout the pans. they sear really well.

I read the directions first - no need to spray or use oil, and these pans are great! I use on a ceramic cooktop and it doesn’t scratch the glass surface, heats evenly (make sure to heat the pan up first) and works well. It is almost like being able to use cast iron on the ceramic cooktop, only better
. Definitely love this set!

The bottoms of these pans warp (convex to the inside) after use. Nonstick coating peels away.
Size: 16 Piece Set
Style: Premium
Pattern Name: Coowkare Set
I bought these pans because I finally wanted a really good set that would last me for at least a few years. The clad-bottom design had me convinced that I would no longer have to worry about the pans warping. I bought these in March of 2021. The nonstick is VERY good. The pans are built well. I was s
o impressed. Yesterday, I was cooking something and noticed that the liquids from the food were all collecting around the outer edge of the inside of the pan, and the middle of the pan was not collecting any fluids. When I was done cooking, I got out my straight edge to check and, sure enough, all of the pans are warping. They are convex to the inside, concave from the outside. Please see the attached photos to understand what I am saying. Before I get blamed for this happening: This is not due to using a tiny burner on high in the middle of the pans (which would cause warping). I have never ever used water on them when they are hot. I know to let them cool slowly. I've never set them on a cold surface when they are hot. I am not careless, and I am not stupid. I read the instructions very carefully and followed them. I also am a metal worker, so I know how not to ruin/warp metal items. I have taken extreme care with these pans, because I expected them to be the last set I bought for a very long time, and I wanted to do my part to make them last. It appears that wasn't enough. I am writing to Ninja customer service tomorrow to see if we can't get this situation remedied. $500 for a set of pans should guarantee me that they won't warp, and especially not in this short a period of time. It's unacceptable. UPDATE: Ninja gave me four replacement pans, to replace the ones that warped. HOWEVER.... Today, I noticed that the nonstick coating is peeling away from the 2.5 Quart saucepan. And I mean peeling away completely. It's crumbling and falling off... Makes me wonder how much of the coating I ate during my last meal. Please see newly added photos. I am contacting Ninja tomorrow to get this one replaced as well, I suppose. At this point, I am starting to think that I would like to have my $500.00 back.....
